i do think that america's leadership is important in order to get issues on the international agenda and to move in concert with other countries, to have an effective response. there are a host of other issues, obviously, that have to be addressed. one of the points that was made during this communique is that we're talking about the venture as a potential war or terrorism but obviously there are excuses for conflict that have to be addressed, as well. i remain committed to being a partner with countries around the world and in particular hot spots around the world to make sure that we can reduce those tensions and ultimately resolve those conflicts. the middle east would be a prime example. the need for peace between israelis and palestinians and the arab states remain as critical as ever. it is a hard thing to do. even if we are applying all our political capital to that issue, the israeli people, through their government and the palestinian people through the palestinian authority as well as other arab states, may say to themselves that they are not prepared to resolve these issue
